Mr. W.# . tant.E said, he wol;ld , ,state the grounds on which he made that assertion before‘the end of the 'SesSion, but would not go . into a proof df its corrOneSs, as that could not ba done without moving -tor - napers too Voluminous to be produced_ this ,Ir.,Ctiuw4N replied to many of the argumeets I.i.t.ged against his bill, and defended himself froM the eharge in having brought forward a sham mea sure (alleged against him by Sir Butdett,), whiff • was a species of condud utterly inconsistent with th. who:e prs&icc and tencr of his former life. He did not complain of the Hon. Baronet's making such 'assertions there, where ''he had it in his power to meet him, but of making them elsewhere, where he had not that advantage. His measure was directed - against bribery and corruption, not guarded against by the Bribery MI, and though he was not san ' guine enough to imagine he could satisfy all parties, • yet be,was sure it gave satisfadion to the sober and rational Mass of the people. The Hon. Gentlethan went at some length into the defence of the. general principles on which his bill is founded, and express- Cd his•fervent hopes, that the blessiegs he enjoyed trom his apcestors he would be enabled, by the House a&ing justly and wisely, on the present occa sion, tro transmit unimpaired to his posterity, ren dering them, as we were, the happiest and freest people on the earth. • The CHANCEp;OII of the INCHEQUER re-stated his opinion delivered on a former evening. He was friendly to the Bill going into a Committee, in order to see if it could be modified in such a way as to make it fit to pass, which he thought imposible in its present state, or without going much farther than even its supporters meant to go. The present state of the Law was an argument for going into this Committee, as one Honourable Gentlemau had, on good grounds, stated, that the objed against which the Bill was directed was not illegal, while an Honourable Baronet asserted that it was high treason against the Constitution. .There was no statute law in existence against it, but that was no reason why they onglit not to consider of the propriety of putting a stop to it, and if it was an ollettce it must come under the head of bribery and corruption, terms un &fitted, and depending on the Opinion of a majority of ilk Hoe Se. The Bight Hon. Gentleman then went into a definition of the difference of bribery in Elec tions, which ups purchasing the breach of a public doty, . amid the 'exertion of that influence against whiLli this Bill was addressed, which was a breach pt no duty to the public. The gallery ViaF; then cleared, and the Motion agreed to uit bout a division. • The liouae went into a Committee pro frrna, the report was received ; and leave obtained to .sit again Tuesday. Adjourned at half-past three.

The Archduke ordered the wretch who had committed this infamous attion to be led in triumph through the city, mounted on the horse of the . French Officer, and surrounded by the Militia. " After this unheard of violation of the rights of nations, the horrid spectacle was seen of one part of the city drawing upon the other part, and citizen's direCting their arms against their fellow-citizens. " General Jindreossy, appointed Governor of the city, Organised in each suburb a municipality, a central committee of provisions, and a national guard, consisting of merchants, manufaCturers, and the good citizens of every class, armed to repress proprietors, and evil.disposed persons. " The Governor-General caused a deputation of the eight suburbs .to repair to Schonnbrunn. The Emperor charged them to proceed to the city in order to carry the annexed letter (No. 3.) written by Major• General Prince of Neufchatel to the Arch•, duke, Maximilian. He recommended the deputies to represent to the Archduke, that if he continued to fire upon the suburbs, and if a single one of the inhabitants lost his life through his arms, this aet ot frenzy, this crime against the people, would for ever break the bonds which attach subjeas to their So- ‘'creigns. " The Deputation entered the city on the 1 ith at ten of thee forenoon, and the arrival was marked only by the redoubled fire from the ramparts. — Fifteen inhabitants of the suburbs perished, and only two Frenchmen were killed. " The patience of the Emperor was wearied out. He proceeded with the Duke of Rivoli to the arm of the Danube which separates the Pratur (the fashion able promenade of Vienna), and ordered 2 companies of Voltigeurs to occupy a small pavilion on the left bank, in order to cover the raising of a bridge. The battalion . of grenadiers which defended the passage was driven back by the Voltigeurs, and by the grapeL shot of fifteen pieces of artillery: At eight of the evening the pavilion was occupied,and the materials of the bridge colleeted. Capt..Portales, Aide-de-Camp of the Prince of Neufchatel, and - Susaldi, Aid de-Camp of Gen. Boudet, were among the first to Mill} across the river in order to seek the boats on the opposite shore. " At nine of the evening a battery oft° °busies, raised by Generals Bertrand and Navelet, at too fa thoms from the place, began the bombardment : 1800 obusses were shot in less than four hours, and soon the whole appeared to be in flames. One must have seen Vienna, its houses of eight ,or nine storteS, its narrow streets, and numerous poeutation within so narrow a compass, ih order .o, _oral an idea of the tumult, disorder, and disasters, which such an ope ration could not but occasion. " The Arehdulte Maxhnihan had, at one in the muting, caused two battalions to march in close column, in order to attempt retaking the Pavilion . , ,Which covered the raising of the 'bridge. The two Companies of ,voltigeurs received them - with a dirt charge of musketry, which, with the 15 piece; of artillery from the right side, destroyed a part of . the column, and forced them to fly,in.great disorder. " The Archduke lost all Kesencerof mind in ,the midst of the bombardment, and especially at the mo mint when - he heard that we had crossed an arm of the Danube, and were on the march to cut off his retreat. As feeble and weak as; he had been rash and arrogant, he was the first to fly and recross the bridge. The respeaable General. O'Reilly learnt only by the flight of the Archduke, that he" Was In vested With the cornmand. " Daybreak on the 126, announced to the ad vanced guard that the firing would cease ) and that a deputation w a s about to be sent to the Emperor. ‘,‘ This deputation was presented to his Majesty in the Park of Schuenbrunn.
